Joey Essex thinks blow-up boat will impress the ladies

'TOWIE' star Joey Essex thinks his two-seater inflatable boat will be the "best luxury item" ever chosen by an 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' contestant because it will help him with the ladies

Joey Essex wants to use his blow-up boat to impress the ladies on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'.

The 'Only Way Is Essex' star has chosen the inflatable two-seater raft as his luxury item for his time in the jungle, and he admitted he hopes it will help him find a "salty potato" - slang for a pretty girl - on the show.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I can use it as a bed. And if there's a salty potato in the jungle, I can take her for a little day out.

"If there's a gorgeous girl in a bikini in the jungle, I can say, 'Hey, come on to my boat'. I think it's one of the best luxury items in the show's history."

Joey might be in luck after Amy Willerton's admission she's willing to get "dirty" in the jungle, and the 21-year-old model has no problem stripping off on the show.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: "I'm looking forward to getting dirty in the jungle ... [But] I'll be in the shower at least twice a day - I don't want to smell like a bombsite.

"I've just done a bikini catwalk in front of two billion people for Miss Universe, so I'm comfortable in my own skin and I'm prepared. I'm quite an open person and I'm a naturist, so I'm like, 'Yeah sure, why not? Let's all wander around and hug'.

"I'm cool with people walking around naked, but I won't be trying to get caught naked on camera - if it happens it's not on purpose."
